I saw someone, the other day, being slightly critical of someone else who had "boosts don't imply approval" or similar in their profile.

I get the point, but am realising that, at the moment, I'm boosting a lot of posts just so that other people I know will see new arrivals *they* might like to follow.

Cases in point: Stephen Fry and Neil Gaiman. I respect them both, but I didn't follow them on Twitter. So I don't really know whether they tend to post stuff I'll want to follow or even that I'd approve of. But their arrival is noteworthy, so they got a boost.

Does that make any sort of sense? Should I be doing it in some more appropriate manner?
